oregon.ubuntu-us.org includes hosting, right? So if we somehow got  
ubuntu-oregon.org, couldn't we just set it to redirect to  
oregon.ubuntu-us.org?

I like the idea of having both, but don't know if it's practical. I went  
to the website of the company that has our old domain "parked" and put in  
the domain name, but their system's response was something like "sorry  
it's taken" rather than the "this domain is for sale" that I was expecting.
